“Wired"

Too many secrets to keep
Sharks: worn out
digging the ocean deep
Submarine days: long gone, over!
Drunken leaders hang on to hangover
For girls: summer time pullover
For men: sundress in October
Is this season disorderly?
Nope, but all things: set in orderly
Who's going to waste our time anyway
when we walk in the clouds leaving the sunny way?
No matter where we live
in a city: dirty or pretty
What are we today
without electricity?
We are nothing
without a wire or a cord
Without slicing apple or berry
what can we afford?
But without a charger
we can get larger
than a swollen battery
As we're overcharged with flattery
already...
Are you ready?
To be charged with us
during this time: grievous?
Then don't be wireless
Stay desireless!”
― Munia Khan, The Half Circle
